I was at work last night and opened a roll of cents. I did a quick wheat scan like normal and came across this blank planchet. My first one so I was exited. :thumb: I assume it's not worth a whole lot but as it was my first find I'll take it.
Nice find. Ive only found one of these in circulation and it came in change at Taco Bell. I did find two more while searching through my grandmothers change jars.
thats cool, ive found one just like that in a roll of new cents. i was told that they go for about 3 bucks
Congrats!!! Funny - I was just looking at the blanks on ebay before I got on CT You can pick up cent blanks for a buck plus shipping. The interesting blanks to find would be the dollars - those are going for over $70. I was hoping to find some nice nickel blanks but to no avail Anyways - its very cool to find one in circulation!
of course you could just get one from the mint! I have about 20 of therse left. They were donated to my scout program. I use them as prizes when a kid answers a difficult question Richard
Hey, that,s cool. By the way, how do you get your scouts to sit still long enough to answer questions?
What does it weigh? Is it copper or zinc? Copper will be 3.11 grams and zinc will be 2.5 grams. Great find!
I haven't had time to weigh it yet, haven't been home long enough. I'll post it when I do though, I'm kind of curious myself.
